Sand Fire Garden

Step 2 Container for the fire pit

With a little searching though your local hardware store, garden center, junkyard or restaurant supply you can find great ready made vessels to build your own custom fire garden in.

In addition to the plumbing parts you will need a container that is able to handle high temperatures and be fully sealed underneath (leaks or drain holes will also allow gas out and fire where you don't want it). The bottom 6-8" of a 55 gal drum works good. I have also used a wok, Stainless Salad bowl, or dog bowls. Stay away from painted steel, aluminum, and galvanized steel as these will release fumes or melt. The weldable coupler  can be welded though the bottom, I also sell a bolt on coupler, or a lock nut (see step 4).
I have seen people make these in cement, ceramic pots, and I have used mine with a 3' pipe added (to move the hose away from the heat) right in the beach sand.

you took off the "stop" bold tag somehow... When viewed in all steps form, the bold text in this step carries over to everything below it

[jonsarriugarte]

could you make an instructable on how to fix?

 In HTML or whatever the formatting code is, there are two tags before and after the text you want to bold,something like  <b> and </b>, one to open and one to close. It looks like you somehow took off that </b> tag, so that the bold effect never stops. The result is that everything after the first tag is bolded. When the instructable is viewed in "all steps" form, it is most noticeable because the comments are all in bold!

I don't have control over the code here. sorry
